Most of the audience received the trailer well and are excited about the movie. But there are some who disagree. They have registered a complaint in Hyderabad against the movie for hurting their religious sentiments.

According to the General Secretary of the BJP Minority Front, Syed Ali Jafri, one of the sequences in the trailer portrays the procession for ‘Muharram’ in bad light. Here is what he reportedly told a leading media house:

‘There is one shot in the trailer which shows the festival of Muharram and it depicts a scene of Matam (self-flagellation). The actor is later shown committing a murder following Matam. This has hurt our sentiments.’

As per reports, Jafri further added that he has requested local Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to transfer the case to Mumbai head office. The Front wants the filmmakers to remove the scene from the movie. He also said they will stage protests throughout the nation if the scene is not deleted from the movie and the trailer.
